	I am trying to find out a fair price for two of G. Harvey''s signed lithographs. I have BOOMTOWN DRIFTERS and RANCHING PUMP JACK STYLE. Could someone please help me?

	His image or likeness canont be copyrighted (nor yours for that matter), but any compilation of his image and graphics can be, as well as a particular image (if he owns the film on which a picture is stored, THAT image can be copyrighted by him, but not your image of him on your camera. You can copyright that.). It''s not his image that can''t be reproduced, but the image that is contained on the master film'' that was used to produce the artwork. His being in government or accepting donations is irrelevant.His campaign poster is no different than a musician''s album cover. Either can be used under the Fair Use clause of copyright law, but that does not give the public at large carte blanc to use it in any way they want. The use must fall within the guidelines of the clause. Examples of Fair Use are authors who quote other authors. They don''t have to pay for or get permission for that. Uses that are obviously satirical don''t need permission, either. Uses that only contain a small portion of the original work and don''t damage the original author''s ability to profit from his work are exempt, also. As for images, any image that is copyrighted, but in the public arena (on TV, the internet, etc) can be used for satire, public information (news stories), or examples of a particular style (a larger work that cites campaign banners, for example). Private use of his logo for purposes other than those listed above can be forbidden by the copyright holder. Ironically, Obama''s supporters canont use his logo to insinuate fidelity with him, but his detractors can use it to exemplify which candidate to avoid.
